I'm fairly new so someone with more experience will be more help, but I think I'm leaning toward the first one. -- To me they all really have somewhat of the same feel, which is good I suppose as you seem to really know what you want. Now you just have to choose... .

I'm looking forward to hear what those with more trained eyes have to say.

Guys, these are old shots of pots that are gone. I don't keep a 'shelf stock'. once made they go to shows or back into wrapping in boxes for the next show. Lots of the pots I do are commisioned. To make a comissioned pot I need INSIDE dimentions LxWxD, no guessing! I no longer do pots comissioned under a "about" size. It leads to disappointment of everyone.I thought these examples would be good for a yew and all are unglazed.Owen, good choice, this was the pot I had on display at the 5th World Show in Washington, DC in 2005 in the "By the Hand Of" display. The ONLY one I entered that the the 'Judge' seemed to think was as worthy as the many he had in the show/book.

Here are a few more examples I think would look good with a yew. BTW, yews are one of my FAVORITE bonsai choices! I've been collecting them since about 1980.

heres a little update on the pot for the yew i ended up contacting mark at walsall and the finished product is done. cant wait to repot the yew into this pot tell me what you think i'm really looking for some feedback thanks

It's only a little smaller not really by much the lens pot depth is 3.2 inches as the walsall pot is 2 so really I was just fine tuning the pot size if it doesn't look better than the lens pot I could just repot the tree back next year or the following year. But I really want a little darker pot also
